You have a good point, but going along with the point that BrendaEM made, all we're doing with the videoing of cops, is the same thing that was originally done when making someone a cop. We look at the video as the final truth, the "displayer" of pure truth. And to that you're saying that is a measurement, and I cna't disagree completely, yet. However, this guy introduces some variables that should be taken into account before we all just move all of our faith from the police officers to video.

Was this their ad?

Not voting for Clinton is the same as voting for Trump. If the spectre of President Trump terrifies you and you don't vote for Clinton, then you are an idiot. If still can't figure it out, see here.

That requires a V-chip

As I explained elsewhere, requirements for new prospective citizens are never and should never be applied to native-born citizens for several reasons--some good, some bad and yet unavoidable.

That's nice and all, but they're still around, and they scare me, especially when they claim to be the TRUE AMERICANS. Be nice if one of you wringing your hands over the overseas threats would speak out against those in-country, even if to say "Poo-Poo, shame on them!" instead.

If there were never any restrictions whatsoever on immigration then larger countries could invade smaller ones by simply sending people over there to register to vote.

I don't see that as a relevant problem (more later), but that'd be a better option than some of the current means. Hmm, what book did I see that idea in? The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms I think. You should read it. Good book. But I digress.

The entire premise of the 'zero restrictions on immigration' camp is warped beyond comprehension. It's just untenable.

Getting back into the later above, that's not the premise anyway. Nobody other than a few libertarian anarchists anyway. You're the second person today that I've seen make this claim in some context, but what you don't get is that it's not actually being seriously proposed anyway. Why are you complaining about it as if it were?

Or are you confusing the rejection of your presented standards with "OMG, they mean no standards at all!" ? It doesn't. It just means that your particular expression of standards is not considered tenable.

Really, if I wanted to talk about one human nation, I would, but I don't see it happening at the moment. Maybe a song would be nice. But that's not serious either.

Bible-thumbing douchebags are a problem. They are nowhere near a problem, globally speaking, as Qu'ran-thumping douchebags. The two problems are orders of magnitude apart. If you can't admit that, then you are hopelessly delusional.

Whereas I think if you can't admit they are two of the same kind, or even bring up their existence, you have a problem of your own.

Then again, I think they're a problem when thumping Dianetics, Chariots of the Gods, the Fountainhead, or Catcher in the Rye. I won't say you're delusional though, not without some statement of a delusion. Maybe you're just not thinking, or maybe you don't realize how it damages your credibility.

Still, I won't give up hope on you. I'm not that cruel.

Immigration is by definition a global issue; you can't wriggle out of this by appealing to America's relatively small Muslim population.

The day you want to talk about immigration as a global issue, is the day we have to start a whole new conversation. Do you want to do that?

Might I suggest you try taking a deep breath or two and realize it's possible to be for LGBTQI rights, against corporate greed, against Trump, etc. and still be against allowing open Islamofascists to not only enter the country, but become citizens. These people do exist, you realize that? They're not just Trump's imagination.

Here I am, thinking you are the one who needs to take some calming breaths as you fail to realize exactly how I'm taking things. You'd do better in persuaded me if you admitted there were Christian Fascists, Crazy Tax-Protesters, and a need to help actual refugees. You went off point to some other issues, that aren't even significantly close to the actual topic. I mean, I'd be glad to hear you support fixing the local potholes too, but I don't really want to distract from the conversation that far either. Bonus points if you can talk about the actual refugees without another hand-wringing complaint about them needed to be screened, as if no effort was going to be made to do that anyway.

Besides, you don'

"...they want their Foreign Policy Back"

As we all saw, Russia interfered with the free and open elections in Eastern Ukraine after the Putin lapdog Yanukovych fled into the arms of Putin when the people of Ukraine wanted closer, more open ties with the West.

Russia sent in its troops and armed its terrorist proxies who burned polling places, burned ballots, threatened anyone who tried to vote, tried to rig votes, and even bragged about doing all of the above by recording their goings on.

Considering the amount of groveling Trump is doing at Putin's feet for his own personal gain and has openly asked for the same foreign government to commit espionage on a U.S. citizen, it would be surprising if Russia wasn't trying to game the system. So long as Putin has been in power that has been the name of game in Russia: only those Putin approves are allowed to run for office.

That Russia is now trying to electronically influence U.S. elections only shows how desperate Putin is to have the sanctions lifted which are dragging his country down each day they are in place. As reported a week ago, Russia will literally run out of money by the middle of next year if sanctions aren't lifted. Supporting the terrorists in Eastern Ukraine and the Syrian regime is costing Russia money it can ill-afford to lose yet from all appearances, Putin is vowed and determined to drag Russia down with him. That is why they are attempting to interfere in U.S. elections.

outside of the USA, and if you think there was anti-Americanism before, if Trump is elected, it will be an all-out continuous, and well-deserved shitpost on America.

Gasp! The Germans are here!

Allooooo Americans! We love you

Welcome back, Americans!!!

Canadian Immigration is gearing up for new refugees. Americans mostly. Comparison with USA. No Trump, No guns, Medicare, Low low cost education, safety living, happy living, prosperous living, and divorce rates below 54 percent.

Hillary calling blacks super predators
Clinton calling tens of millions of US citizens deplorable for daring to disagree with her

Hows that, I'm only picking the one running for president, the "leader of the left" in the US. There are more from Biden, Reid, Byrd (who thought blacks shouldn't have equal rights), Carter, Obama, Pelosi, and pretty much anyone else that has been in a leadership position of the DNC.

Seeing as the person he is running against said tens of millions of US citizens are deplorable, irredeemable, racists. I think Trump's speech is by far the less hate filled, he only attacks people who attack him first.
We now have MOST of the DNC leadership calling the middle class workers a bunch of racists, bigots.

Clinton calls people who disagree with her deplorable
Carter calls people who disagree with Obama racists
Pelosi calls people who disagree with her Nazis

These are not radio hosts, talk show hosts, they are the TOP DNC leadership. They are not attacking other politicians, or talk show hosts, they are attacking ordinary middle class citizens for having a different opinion.

Trump is no where CLOSE to the AVERAGE of the DNC leadership.

What conspiracy? To keep people in the dark? That's a fact, not a theory.

You can see NASA's own evidence of UFO's, Edger Mitchell's own testinomy, many Government officials, researchers, time and time again admit this.

Lastly, 12 years ago I met an alien -- but you can keep trying to label other people's experiences that don't fit within your myopic perspective.

Only the ignorant stick their head in the sand and ignore a problem. The truth is:

We were never alone.

In roughly 8 years this fact will be public. You can either accept it now or later. Your choice. But all the wishful thinking won't change fate.

"The police told me they'd be back if it happened again." For what crime? Is it normal for police in Canada to threaten to invade an innocent couple's home for doing something legal?

Tor is a thorn in the side of despotic regimes. They will harass anybody who runs an exit node. Best case, they break down a door and find some pot in an ash tray, then lock this couple up for a few years. It's good for the police union, good for the prison industry, and good for the black ops programs funding their budget with drug smuggling.

Win-win-win (unless you're a subject of the regime).

What would that accomplish other than to make sure there are no players left in the market except for the really, really big ones? You know that if this topples Akamai, the attackers will take on another target and bring them down the same way, and so on, and so on...

In other words, the article you quoted is irrelevant. The world has moved on. The government does not want any more of what they called unethical and abusive conversion therapy on children - not from Zucker, not from anyone else.

Except if you actually read what I mentioned, that's not what anybody accused him of, except for the PC police.

Again, what do you fear so much about transsexuals that you can't even call them by their names?

Who? Bradley Manning? Bruce Jenner? Actually about that -- I refer to everybody by names I've known them as for a long time. That includes my sister who legally changed her name (and still remains her birth gender, by the way.) That also includes that total douchebag Brianna Wu, who I've never known by any other name.

That has nothing to do with being trans or anything like that; it's that I think it's a load of crap that somebody can be one thing and then one day wake up and claim to be something/someone else and expect everybody to follow that as if life is world of warcraft on an RP server where one you hop on an alt, you're suddenly a new identity with a new personality (and yes, I'm also annoyed by RPers.) And don't think your special because that includes this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Much in the same as that woman wants to be a cat and might pick up the mannerisms of a cat, at the end of the day she's a woman. Likewise much as you pick up the mannerisms of a woman, you still are a man, and even debate just like one.

That offends you? Honestly, that's your problem, not mine.

Ok, I'm sorry but I'll have to work. Go look further on the Ukranian thing if you are willing. It was some time ago, I read at the time, so I couldn't find more relevant links in a short time. There were American financed NGOs, trade deals to disrupt relations with Russia, the NATO threat, and the pro-US president screwing the country to cause the "resentment over 50 years of Russian hegemony " (do you honestly think there would be a "government turnover" if the people were not screwed over?). If you don't think putting missiles on your border is a serious threat (and they needed the "government turnover" for that) just remember the Cuban missile crisis, and that your country considers this kind of thing a serious threat. So yes, the Russians where between having missiles on their border and invading Ukraine. If the "turnover" wasn't associated with NATO, the missiles and Yats, I wouldn't think the US was at fault. If with all those things you don't think it is, think again.
On Syria, the email in the link was from 2011.

t's certainly possible limited aid was going into this country

Read the quotes again.

on the ground (...) training opposition forces (...) commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns (...) enough media attention on a massacre, like the Ghadafi move against Benghazi

The interview about how supporting terrorists would help terrorists relates to a 2012 report by the DIA. Here is the DIA report, heavily redacted (it's just three pages out of seven pages). Before "the rise" of ISIS, the report is an intelligence alert that ISIS would happen depending on US actions. Please, at least watch the 5 minutes video with the American intelligence officer.
So, if you don't believe the Russians, you should believe at least the Americans... plus, they are saying the same thing.

Here's a starting place.

user melted gave a short answer, but lets go:
1.0 - Washington's Man Yatsenyuk Setting Ukraine Up For Ruin
1.1 - Ukraine: One ‘Regime Change’ Too Many?
2 - Syria: From the Global Intelligence Files in 2011, about the US financing anyone available to fight against Assad (read terrorists/"rebels"), and being interested in a big humanitarian disaster. Quotes from the e-mail:

they said without saying that SOF teams (presumably from US, UK, France, Jordan, Turkey) are already on the ground focused on recce missions and training opposition forces. One Air Force intel guy (US) said very carefully that there isn't much of a Free Syrian Army to train right now anyway

So there were no rebels to train, but they were there and training them anyway.

the idea 'hypothetically' is to commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns, try to break the back of the Alawite forces, elicit collapse from within

They dont believe air intervention would happen unless there was enough media attention on a massacre, like the Ghadafi move against Benghazi. They think the US would have a high tolerance for killings as long as it doesn't reach that very public stage.

Also, there is a very interesting interview with the former head of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency):
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL. Here is a link to the most important part: Former DIA Head Concedes US Deliberately Backed Extremists in Syria.
Finally, listen to Putin talking about the subject, most relevant part about ISIS starts around 1:30.

Adam Ruins Everything - The Real Reason Car Dealerships Are the Worst.

Summarising the vid: dealerships have pressured/lobbied Congress (in the US) to pass franchise laws. Which make it so you can only sell new cars if you're a car dealership. And there are dealership "territories" so it's illegal to open a new one in another dealership's territory. So car manufacturers in most (all?) states can't sell directly to customers.

(Though I'm not quite sure how Tesla has been able to sell cars directly to customers in states other than Michigan.)

Chaos that crawls up to you with a smi le.

The problem with Detroit is Googleism.

IBM 360s were used by hackers. I did it.

Had a job programming IBM360s for the Govt. Did some amazing things on those and hacked a crap-load of code together for them.

You've seen my work, I'm positive. Ever see a space shuttle launch or land? http://history.nasa.gov/comput... - shuttle GN&C computers were modified IBM 360s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?... - jump to 1 min into the video and be amazed at how perfect that landing is. That's my code dude. After maingear touchdown, the astronauts don't really control the elevons.

make 10 fake uber driver profiles with "scary" pictures, collect from all the fake rides you didnt do, count on cultural fear of ghosts to not get complaints.
China is full of entrepreneurs like that.

Another example: Shenzhen police started a program rewarding traffic violation recordings from dash cams with straight up cash (something like $5?)

there are tutorials on chinese social media how to make good money inciting other people to brake traffic laws.

I don't have a direct link to the tests for archive handy. Jim Hall regularly writes about user testing and you can find more results if you google "jim hall user testing". You can also watch this talk by Andreas Nilsson from last GUADEC in Karlsruhe.

The solution is to set aside $5,000,000,000 for ALL federal elections and ban any donations to ANY organization remotely affiliated with ANY politician. Then index that $5B to inflation (we'd see real inflation rates again vs. the tweaked numbers reported today, but that's another story).

That way, Congressmen don't spend half of every work day in a call center, making phone calls for money for their party's candidates. They can actually READ legislation they're working on.

The cons argument of, "It squelches free speech," is countered by the fact that our representatives WE CHOSE voted to pay for all elections. That is our free speech - who we vote for... Besides, not ALL free speech is healthy/allowed in a free society - and the dirty, financial side of "free speech" in the form of lobbying/corruption is definitely bad for the country as a whole. Yes, corporations and lobbyists should be able to make their arguments, but not with a side of green to tip the scales in their favor.
